    Dating on Facebook is not and will not be dead. There are a few ways you can go about it to stay profitable.

    1. Go international. OneHourTranslation.com will translate your ad into any language accurately and with the same meaning. Sometimes messages get fumbled in translation, but these guys do a bang up job. It will cost you anywhere from 3 – 8 dollars depending on how long and what translation level you want.

    A lot of affiliates are still to lazy to go this route, so if you put in the extra cash and work to get things translated correctly, it can play out well for you in the end. International markets have very little competition, or less than the US/UK/AU/etc, at least, making them prime real estate for your dating ads. The only downfall is that many users in other countries don’t set their relationship status, so it can be hard to find a decent amount of singles. You’ll have to market to many different demographics and countries to make this venture worth while. It may also be hard to find an offer that profits for your target country, especially if you can’t read the landing page.

    2. You can stick with US dating, but you might want to segment and find very niche dating sites or dating products. ethnic/religious dating sites, etc. Stay away from the general dating sites that will take any and all singles traffic. They convert poorly and the only way people are making money on them is by constantly rotating images, landing pages, and spending a ton of money for very low margins. Try using keywords to psychographically target users (ex. Find singles that love to play Golf!)

    3. If you have the capital or the technical knowledge, create your own dating site! You keep all the money yourself, which means no more small margins or getting cut off from offers. It takes a lot of research to figure out how to get users to convert and keep them subscribed though, so you’ll need to work on that. One thing I would do if you were going this route, is to go niche like in option 2 above. Create a network of dating sites. Keeping users engaged with other users interested in the same this is what makes dating sites thrive.

    Why one would result to a dating website is beyond me. Dating in the real world is tough enough but to date someone online is weird. Computers and technology have made everything so impersonal so that people don't build upon their communication skills... so that when they face differences with a loved one they don't take it personable in reality.

    online dating site is to introduce them, and if they serious, they will meet each other and do "normal" dating..

    cOOL...social sites some times make business of dating; but pleasure that FB is completely free from this; but some people make fake accounts and cause a bit problem - all should be aware of it.
